About 30 municipalities in France have laws banning “burkinis.” The laws made international headlines when armed police officers in Nice made a woman remove some of her clothing on a beach, citing the ban. The officers gave her a ticket that said she was not wearing “an outfit respecting good morals and secularism.”

The language of these laws is to ban “beachwear which ostentatiously displays religious affiliation,” in the name of secularism, hygiene, and public order, according to The Guardian.
